Yep, crawling along that passage and into the tomb is very special. It felt like it was untouched, like we were among the first people to ever see it! A fantastic experience. The lovely lady there let us hold some of the stuff found, including a neolithic childs tooth, sounds possibly comic, but it was a strange, humbling experience. I don't know if the visitor centre there has changed since 2014, but I would guess so as it was very basic when we visited, but I really liked that. Tomb of the eagles is obviously great and a must see but the whole operation there is a bit more 'slick' and I found them a little pushy tbh. I felt like I was a tourist being 'processed' which is a bit unfortunate at such a great site. Reply | with quote |  10th February 2017ce 14:33 In reply to: Re: Best base for Orkney trip?
